Law, Percy in form; SUCA Champs

Monday 22nd April 2019

It’s great to see Nick Percy and Kirsty Law in good form in the United States in early season competition.

Nick was competing at the Kansas Relays in Lawrence and threw out to 62.09m to take third place in that event.

And we mentioned last week that Kirsty has made a strong start to 2019 and she under-lined that with a throw of 57.66m for fourth place at the Beach Invitational in Long Beach, California.

That’s the second best ever throw from Kirsty and her best for a number of years since her PB of 57.79 was set in 2012.

Well done to both athletes and their coaches.

At the Bryan Clay Invitational event, there were Scottish rankings lead performances by Jamie Crowe in the 10,000m with 30.06.55 and Jonny Glen in the 3000m steeplechase with 8.57.60.

2nd furthest throw ever…. its coming together 57.66m🏋️‍♀️ #LA #discus pic.twitter.com/yrE3iXdZDQ
